webmutant [1.0]

Webmutant is an application which generates mutant binaries capable of surviving autonomously while infiltrated within a users computer, thus bringing together aesthetics and biology through the contingent condition which is inherent to both. The choice of a project which implies voluntary intrusion in a catatonic space (represented by an internet terminal), was deliberately taken by opposition to the totalitarian demands of a so called interactive technology. After downloading and configuring, this graphic cataloguer intercepts the users communications to then use the virtual geographical data of the visited places as coordinates for it's own growth. In this sense, the solid crystals created by this application are a sort of individual cartography of the Web (or of a group, whenever the terminals are use by various people), reiterating the illusion of an all powerful and singular navigation of the internet
